Syria condemns Israel's 'violations' of its sovereignty
Syria accused Israel of violating its territorial integrity by seizing the peak of Mount Hermon and using the strategic point to launch "incursions" on Syrian villages near the buffer zone.
Syria has strongly condemned Israel's continued violations of Syrian territory, according to state media SANA. The accusations stem from the completion of the "Sufa 53 Line," a line of control established by Israel in the Syrian territory taken over in December 2024. This line essentially extends Israeli control into a buffer zone previously administered by the Syrian regime and patrolled by the United Nations.
SANA stated that Syria condemns these violations in the strongest terms, calling them a flagrant violation of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement and international law. Syria is increasingly concerned about Israel's activities in the area, including raids on Syrian villages and shelling near the buffer zone. Israel has seized the peak of Mount Hermon and has no intention of returning it to Syria.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed that the Israeli occupation's aggressive approach poses a direct threat to regional security and stability, urging the international community to take effective measures to end these violations. Syria seeks international pressure on Israel and the demarcation of the border area to ensure stability.
